I read somewhere on these pages that after the draft McClays contract is up. If that’s the case I would expect another NFL team to come in and offer a FO Job.

Jerry won’t hire a GM so McClay comes the closest to that description .

The thing with McClay is if you’re not happy with him why keep him around and if you are why not extend him. Overall I would definitely extend him .

As an example he drafts Schoon but he can’t make MM include him in the offense .

Jerry is trying to prove that their whole wait til the last second to resign guys (McClay, coaches, players) is a smart move. He prioritizes being right over being good or being smart.

He is none of those things. Only stubborn.

McClay is a huge yes man though. I doubt Jerry lets him leave.

For the record, I don't mind McClay's draft analysis at all, especially later in the draft when Jerry stops playing Football Guy. I do think fans overrate him though. He’s good, he’s not elite.

The lame bait and switch for shock value is for Jerry, after all these years, to take the clipboard at 80+ years old and school us all with some late oughts Patriots type teams with his play calling on all three sides of the ball.

Anyone see the picture the other day on here of Jerry, even at todays age, with a notepad with what looked like plays scribbled on it.

Its predictable at this point. I would literally turn the channel.

Name sustained elite-ness then.

Is this how you act on a regular basis?

Anyway...for anyone else reading....I have heard praise go to Baltimore as a club for drafting a lot of guys like McClay(assuming you want to give him all the credit).

There are new teams like San Fran and Dretroit...but how come I dont see them listed when a see threads about best drafting clubs. Personally, Philly seems to draft well too.

Name your Golden GM's or delete the post. Its a shame to make posts with purposeful missing info. God's good, right.

I think McClay is a very good administrator, he takes all the information from the scouts and makes it all work with Front Office,scounts, and Coaches.
Hes good, but he's not a scout himself, so he regurgitates the information when they are making late round picks

McClay has the best job in the NFL. He seems to get credit for the Cowboys success with the draft while Jerry takes credit for the failures. I think McClay is a propped up scout.

Yeah...this convo is getting corny.

Sum say McClay isnt a scout, when years have gone by saying he was the head of scouting or responsible for good drafts since 2005(or something like that)....now a poster wants to say he is a figure head. I think he coached a Minor League team before the Cowboys job.

Name the head dude of scouting that reports to McClay then.

Board gets cornier and cornier with bunk info

Someone, anyone...Beuler...can anyone name the guy next in line of scouting so we dont have to have these lame convo's?

Its pathetic
Jerry does not lie. He is the Owner/GM everyone reports to him. Jerry eliminated the middle man.

Thats fine.

Im tired of the Will McClay scout talk and it not being him when his name has been a staple for years.

COOL...LYING AND OBFUSCATION IS SO COOL...no one cares about how smart it is to lie about who the decision maker really is...its played out and pathetic at this point....

Who is the 'supposed' scout leader if its not McClay? I dont want some lame talk about 'well, there are scouts for each position and yada yada yada' ....its played out.

Its Jerry's fault...then its McClay drafting fault....now its not even McClay anymore. Then who is it?

How corny can you be? Really lame

God's good, right.
What?
Please leave religion out of your awful takes.

The Eagles (Howie Roseman), Ravens (Eric DeCosta), Chiefs (Brett Veach), Rams (Les Sneed), and Lions (Brad Holmes) of late have all been consistently better drafters than the Jones' ensemble of yes men and family members.

Of course, drafting better is subjective so we can always just measure playoff success.

Was that enough “Golden” GM’s Jones apologist?

Excellent rebuttal. Lots of facts and well put together sentences.
